Which of Ravel's Bolero CD should I get?


Hello.

I'm looking to buy a CD featuring Ravel's Bolero and would appreciate your input as to which one to get. My system can only play CDs, HDCDs included, and I would like to get a very good quality recording.

I am only beginning to get into classical, so I don't have enough knowledge to appreciate someone's style vs. another director's style.

Thanks much!

You might also want to try Bolero as conducted by Jesus Lopez-Cobos with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. This is an older excellent recording, circa 1988 and was very highly rated. I have the CD, which is on Telarc and the catalogue number is CD-80171. If you are interested, someone is actually selling one on ebay. Just plug in Ravel Bolero in your search.
